After a period of meditation, practitioners usually return to a waking state and their brain resumes how it normally functions during a waking state. However, this suggests that when you practice meditation regularly, you can maintain that feeling of wholeness and integrate it into your life.
In today's post, we'll talk a wee bit more about meditation...
The fact that meditation can lead to expansion, ascension and enlightenment is not news. But how long does it take? Most experts and researchers have suggested that it takes many thousands of hours. But is that true? My guides say no. And the latest research seems to agree with them. Effortless MindfulnessThe article I referred to in yesterday's post, on effortless mindfulness, suggests that it might be the way we approach meditation or raising consciousness that affects how long it takes. But it also matters what the goal is. Maybe we don't need to be masters, we just need to raise our frequency and our consciousness. Deliberate Mindfulness includes one-pointed focus and nonjudgmentally observing the changing contents of our mind and body. On the other hand, Effortless Mindfulness shifts from focusing on the contents to discovering the context, an awareness that is already awake and free of suffering. My Guidance When Asking about ThisMeditation can help you become enlightened, but instead of needing 10,000 hours, you will be able to do it a lot faster now. Time is speeding up, so to speak, because the Great Awakening is beginning. And we need all hands on deck, so we will be helping you make progress faster than you might otherwise do. On the other hand, don't rush yourself. Let us be the ones who speed up your ascension. All we need you to do is dedicate time every day to meditate and when you do, deepen your awareness of the space around you. The between spaces. And the connecting spaces. As we grow more comfortable with resting in awareness, ... we will slowly come to see that this spacious awareness is who we truly are.
In my opinion, this magic described in the quote above, which can happen LONG before you have put in thousands of hours, is what makes meditation a superpower. Watch this video below to get advice on how to use this superpower during your day...
How to Get StartedOne of the things I really appreciate about this video is that he starts with telling you how to ease into meditating every day, but then goes on to tell you how to incorporate this practice into your daily lifestyle, even when you can only take a minute or two here and there. Over to you. What do you think about using meditation as part of your own daily routine? See you next time! Love, Jeanine

I think I need to understand that "meditation" does not mean I have to sit down on a yoga mat, light a candle and try and focus on my breath for x amount of time, but exactly what this guy in the video says: find an island in your day where you connect with and ground yourself while making coffee. Sounds simple enough. Maybe I have been doing it all along but never thought of calling it meditating?

Maybe so! And you're right, there are so many different ways to meditate that you definitely can ignore any "rules" you don't like.

My Spirit Guides encourage me to meditate 5 times throughout the day for minimum of 5 minutes - this will break the flow in my over-active brain and pull be back to feeling centered and grounded. Do I do it daily? No, but I believe and have experienced the smallest amount of time and deep breathing and emptying the brain to work wonders for my life.

Oh, that's cool, Jyll! I should ask for guidance on that, too. I usually only meditate once or twice.

I meditate often and I try to do it all throughout my day.. I will even find myself meditating while doing the dishes.

That's great, Brenda! I'm so glad you do that. I admire it, but am not able to manage that myself. I do want to do more than I am currently though.

Jeanine, I really like the Zenways.org guy and the soft way he speaks. I learned Transcendental Meditation in 1972 and that was the launch of my meditation practice. If you like, I can send you a digital copy of my meditation book, Sacred Meditation: Embracing the Divine. Just send me your email address, and I'll send it to you. So many ways to meditate! Blessings--

It's the world waking up and becoming enlightened, raising both consciousness and frequency on the planet.
